Historic Finishing and Gold Leaf at Woodworking in America

It’s hard to believe that Woodworking in America 2014 is only a month away!

Once again I am honored to be a presenter.  My main frustration is that there are so many great presenters that I will be unable to see nearly as much as I want.

On Friday afternoon I have the remarkable luxury of having four solid hours to talk about and demonstrate historic finishing.  I have presented this at WIA several times before and it always seems to be a crowd-pleaser.

Last year the audience was especially enthusiastic; the facilities crew tossed us out sometime close to 7PM.

Then,  mid-day Saturday will be a new WIA topic for me, Gilding.  I don’t do much large scale gold leafing anymore, but I do use it a fair bit in my japanning work.

I hope to see you there.
